I hope that nobody Did I offend. SALLY BANN M. H. S. ln the valley of Machias, There's a building where I go, O VVith its white and yellow trimmings, It's the oldest that I know. The building is the school house, As old, as old can be, And if I'm not mistaken, T'will go down in history. Now the building is in ruin, And the floor begins to sag, The walls are slightly leaning, But the teachers seldom nag. Still we love this dear old school The best we'll ever know, And we always will remember it No matter where we go. LAURENCE FOST N 51 ER nl

ICDITH BRYANT '52 THF ICPITAPH OF M. H. S. Listen, my children, and you shall hear, The epic tale of our school house dear. It's a run-down building lVith tilted floors, Squeaking boards. And crooked doors. The cloek's never rightg The teacher's never wrongg Vacations are too short, And classes are too long. The main room's either Too hot or too cold, And the creaky seats Are too darned old, But I love this old building, And the class of '5l . . . 'Cause in four straight years, I've had a lifetime of fun. DONALD CRANDLEMIRE 'Sl JUNIOR CLASS is for juniors, the class of fifty-two. stands for Unityg ours is true.
